  1. For all intents and purposes
  2. Was that a fire suppression system putting that engine fire out as it was flipping? Looked like it was going to burst in flames, then you see white spray and the fire goes away. Amazing.
  3. I was lucky enough to get the 1/24 956 super kit, I also have their CLK GTR and Toyota Kits, though not as intricate
  4. nice work, very clean
  5. I can't wait to see where this one goes. If you know anyone selling one of these detail kits, I may be willing to put up the money. They have just vanished in the last couple years.
  6. I had an entire McGaughy's lowering kit disappear from FedEx. Front spindles, shocks, rear shackles. Vanished, and FedEx only covered $100. Worst part about it was I sold it to someone on a forum. Of course they didn't believe me, so I had to pony up and buy a brand new kit and send it to them
  7. depends where it's going, where it's leaving from, how big it is and how much it weights. I ship every day for my business, with FedEx, UPS and USPS. Weight is the major factor with all 3, but once you hit a certain size with USPS, the price jumps up a lot. Shipping from CA to Hawaii is always a LOT less with USPS with smaller packages, but after a certain size, USPS is double UPS and FedEx. USPS trucks are small and not meant to be carrying around large boxes, so when you ship something that size, 18x18 is not small, compare to what they typically carry, then they are going to make you pay for the real estate on the truck . I forget the comic that did the standup bit, probably Jerry Seinfield, but he was talking about people complaining about the price of postage. "You mean to tell me, you'll take this envelop from New York to California, in 3 days for $0.49? That's outrageous, what a ripoff" I had a guy needing some tooling for a stone job like yesterday. Everything fit in an 18x18x6 box, not much bigger than what the OP's package was, but it weight 45lbs and went UPS Next Day Air, Early AM, which is guaranteed by 8am next day. The plate and tooling cost him around $550, the shipping alone was another $360, but he called me around 2pm in the afternoon and had it before I woke up the next morning
  8. I wish all wheel packages were like this. Turned rims, turned lug nuts, etched centers, decal centers, turned valves, separate faces,
  9. I got my order quickly, will buy from again for sure.
  10. I'm in for the Audi and Diablo GTR
  11. I have bought from BNA through Ebay many times, I would highly recommend them.
  12. I have a Tamiya Lancer Evo VI that I ended up with and will probably never build. It's the standard street version. if you're ever interested in trading for it, let me know
  13. Ebay store. While not technically their fault, it was shipped in a soft envelope. They agreed to issue a refund and return it right away, so I'm not upset. Both of these can be replaced. If it was a rare kit, I'd be pretty pissed
  14. most of the people in this thread never even bothered to read the article to get the point the author was trying to make. With that being said, it's a stupid article and a stupid point
  15. You must be fun at parties
  16. Here's the kit. Not easy to find, I got mine from HLJ.com Here are the wheels completed, which your KA wheels should look the same when done.
  17. graffiti artists don't always deface property, a lot of them are hired for personal projects. people that tag buildings and deface property are useless should cease to exist, but a lot of them are actually pretty talented and earn a living doing it by actually getting hired. That's who these types of products are marketed towards.
  18. just ordered the HRM 250TR engine kit last night. With my Acu Stion detail kit and wire wheels, this should top it off nicely.

  20. 100 octane, which supposedly comes with a tune that is available in a special package. I have a business acquaintance with his name on a list at his dealer and is ready to put up a deposit. He invited me to fly out to ND to drive it if he ends up with one. I will definitely take him up on it. Expected price is around $100k. They say that only 50% of the engine is shared with the Hellcat, but I thinkk that is BS. Hellcat is around 11.4 PSI, Demon is 14. I bet with a new pulley and tune the Hellcat would gain quite a bit of power.
  21. What a dumb post, I don't even understand the point. Why would you lump everyone into the same basket
  22. seems like Strada Sports's domain is for sale. Haven't seen anyone post about this and I just went to visit their site out of curiosity
